Recently we started using a custom script to install and configure FIM in a consistent manner. During more than a few manual installs, I’ve been asked to install FIM into a drive or directory other than “C:\Program Files\Microsoft Forefront Identity Manager\2010," so I knew the script would need to have this capability. After finding and reading the “Unattended Installation of FIM 2010 R2” post, I spent a great deal of time searching the internet which led me to the not well documented option, INSTALLDIR=”” that allows the unattended install of FIM components to drives or directories other than the default.

Maybe, this something you already knew, but I thought I’d share it, as it wasn’t an obvious choice.
